I have the first "Amberdelic Space" set, and it's a pretty good selection
ofambient/electro/techno-lite, especially as a 4-CD set for less money than
a full price single CD album.  DTKs "industrial Virus" set was also a
pretty good buy (for me, at least).

P.S. Those of you in striking distance of Kingston upon Thames may like to
know that Tower Records has reopened in part with a massive clearance sale
(Mid-refurbishment).  I don't know how long it's on for, but I picked up a
stack of goodies today, and would have bought more if I didn't have to buy
the kids Xmas prezzies....
